Why did the colonists oppose the taxes imposed after the french and indian war?

The colonists opposed the taxes imposed on them after the French and Indian War. These taxes were known as the Stamp act. They required that all printed materials be printed in the UK. All the printed material was embossed with a revenue stamp. The English colonists considered it an infringement of their rights to have to pay the stamp tax. They were still considered British citizens and yet they were not granted the same rights as British citizens living in the UK
